so what if i skipped the fishing trip this morning at least i go to sleep in! i helped around in the house i watered plants in the porch and when i got back in it was time to take out all the blue willow from the original cabinet because a new one is comming tomorrow grandma and i are pretty excited. so i got a lesson about willow ware and where they were all made.. japan, ohio, england, and poland(i think). she mostly had japan but she had a few of the rest too. to rank it i think it is japan, england, china, ohio, then poland. she had a bunch of other plates as well but it was all blue and white. i picked one up because it looked familiar it had a picture of the place where the declaration of independence is. she wanted to give it to me to put in my room but i was not quite sure that i was worthy of one of her pieces from her collection. so she said she would give me time to think about it. i held every piece VERY carefully because its something that she treasures most and so does everyone in the family. she told me ALL about her collection and it was really fun. we sat down and i read the paper and she fell asleep. later on grandpa came and was pretty hungry so since the willow was everywhere we decided to go to in-and-out to eat. WOOHOO! when we got there i was proud that i was with my grandparents in a burger joint. i got out of the car(parked in the handicapped area of course) and i helped my grandmother out the car door and up to the sidewalk raced my grandpa to the door we fight over who opens the door for who and just our luck there were TWO doors one after the other so we took turns. we had a great meal and on our way out i opened the first door and to my grandfather and my surprise my grandmother went ahead and opened the next door and laughed at the two of us. so we merrily drove home with fries for the dog. when we got home my grandmother decided to rest again so i sat there and read my book while she went through the mail. she kept on falling asleep so i was watching her half the time and laughing. when ross got home from the fishing trip he told us all about it. my grandmoter decided to walk around to keep herself awake. the she sat down and told me a story about when they went to Salem one Halloween night. through that it lead to authors who lived in Salem or nearby. then she wanted to re-educate me american way because i did not know the things she was talking about so we went to her room and read poems that longfellow wrote and i listened to everything then i forgot i was supposed to get ready for the game. so i hurried up.. my dad got impatient. then we drove off.. the game was in the hockey arena but since hockey season is on strike.. well you get it. we got great tickets but i dint know jack about LACROSS(E?) so i sat and watched.. its like hockey but without the ice and they had poles with nets on the end and a bouncy ball that they would pass around. half of the time they would hit one another even if the opponent dint have the ball. ROUGH but VERY amusing i must say. i had a GREAT time wathcing, laughing, and looking at all the fans. it was the Arizona Sting versus the Colorado Mamouths and of course we won 15 to 12. i went in thinking no one would care about this sport but guess again.. they had hard core fans as well and the oposing team had like a grouppie or something. real funny. im glad i was able to watch it! so anyhow, the Sting are in the playoffs(?) since they won this game. good for them! on our way out right beside the Glendale arena is the football stadium that they are building the superbowl of 2008 will be held there its almost done and it looks fantastic. REALLY COOL! i hope we get to see more interesting games while we are here. maybe a suns game? wee. oh poo! the diamondbacks lost to the doggers again by 2 in the 11th inning. 2wins 3loss record now. tsk tsk. GO LUIS GONZALEZ! made myself a banana with out splittung the banana for dinner and pet the dog. im going to bed. phew! pretty longgg.
